LAST NIGHT (10/11/24): Possible sighting of a sasquatch just outside Avery CA (Stanislaus NF)

11 October 2024 late evening, dark, just before 9pm Avery, Calaveras County, California 1 witness

Account

The witness was outside a cabin at night with a high-power spotlight while taking a dog out to relieve itself. After hearing a noise from the woods behind the property, the witness shone the light on a tall light-brown upright figure fleeing away. The figure was glimpsed briefly at close range and then again at greater distance as dogs in that direction barked, and the witness estimated it at over eight feet tall and distinct from deer or bears.
